With a flat deck welcoming both teams, the toss may or may not be a crucial factor in this tie. What could be crucial is the dew, and if the captain wins the toss, he might opt to bat.
GT Vs PBKS Pitch Report
"We are the centre pitch. 63m square boundaries, 70m straight hit," reveal WV Raman. Simon Katich talks about the surface. "We are Pitch No. 6. We were here 4 times last season and in those 4 matches three of them were won by the chasing team. So I expect that to come into play tonight at the toss. This pitch has black and red soil, a mixture of both. It's rock hard and has 3mm of grass on it so I expect to have good pace and bounce so I expect plenty of runs tonight. GT have 8 out of 12 games here," says Katich.
